STORYLINE:The...\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003cspan class='full-description hide'\u003eLEADIN:Chinese smartphone manufacturer TCL has launched a new phone under the Alcatel brand that lights up at the back.The Alcatel A5 phone was the company's top announcement at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. STORYLINE:The Alcatel A5 is a pretty standard looking low to mid-range smartphone from Chinese manufacturer TCL.It is when you turn the phone around that things get interesting.The Alcatel A5 has a modular design, the back panel of the device can be changed to add LED lights, a speaker or an extra battery pack.The LED light panel has 33 lights that can be set to put on different \"light shows\" when the phone receives a notification.The light panel can be switched with a flick for the speaker or the extra battery pack.William Dowie, Portfolio Management Director at Alcatel says the phone's cover will \"dance to the beat of the music.\" \"You can also shake the device and it will switch between the different visual styles as well and you can customise that as you need, so very bright and visual for your music playback. Secondly for any type of notification you receive on your device the back cover will light up with a unique and different notification for every type of message, so whether that's your WhatsApp, your Facebook, any type of social media, even incoming calls, you'll get a unique light display on the back surface of the device,\" he says. The Alcatel A5 is similar to the LG G5 smartphone that was released at MWC in 2016. The modular design LG G5 was a more premium smartphone, but it had disappointing sales.It comes with a 5.2-inch HD screen, an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera and a 3050 milliamp hour battery.It also has a colour matching feature, clearly aimed at an audience that wants to easily customise their phone with what they are wearing that day.Alcatel has not released a price for the device but it is expected to be in the low to mid range of the smartphone market.Alcatel is also launching two other new smartphones at MWC, the A3 and the U5. \"The first of those devices is the A3, ok, comes in a super sleek design. It's the most affordable five inch HD smart phone with finger print, ok, super premium design. We also have our selfie experience which allows you to customise your selfies, do face collages, lots of fun stuff,\" says Dowie. He says the U5 is the \"most affordable 4G device\". Like the A3, this phone comes with the \"selfie experience\", a front flash for selfies.\"And for this product we also bring our phone guard experience which allows you to be secure and safe, so it can protect you from viruses, it will take care of any unwanted apps, and you can also contact customer care as well,\" Dowie says. The company also launched the Alcatel Plus 12 two in one tablet, a newer version of the Plus 10, which was launched at MWC last year. \"This is not a PC. This is a product that comes with LTE inside, so it's always on, always connected, you pull it out, you switch it on, instant on, and you can immediately do whatever you need to do, you're connected through LTE. It's unique and it's here,\" says Vittorio Di Mauro, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Connected Devices, Alcatel. The CEO of TCL Communication Nicolas Zibell says the company is attempting to position itself in a new way with these devices. \"We don't design devices just for designing devices. At a time when the mobile market is maturing, we need to design devices for a purpose. We need to design those devices to make sure we can hit the consumer and bring something relevant. So we are working in two fields. One area is to be able to bring all the latest technologies and to make them accessible to consumers, but the second is to give a twist to those technologies so that the users have real reasons to know why they are buying an Alcatel device,\" he says.  The MWC technology fair opens on February 27 and runs through March 2.Barcelona - 27 February 20171. Wide of Stefan Streit, Head of Marketing, TCL Communication walking on stage to introduce launch2.
